    Thanks!!
    I haven't read all the rest of the responses yet, trying to play catch up, but I would say you should do two of them, how could you choose with that combination. Love them both.

    BLUEBONNETS, I like them both, but love the pink and yellow set- which is surprising because I really don't like pink very much. But that combo is gorgeous. If you plan to make a quilt I'd say make it with the pink and yellow set and make a table or bed runner with the cats.

    I was thinking of medium gray, like in the monster faces, for your background, but I do like the black a lot. And would that fabric need to be directional? I'd turn it in different directions as I cut the pieces so they are facing all different ways and it would not look directional. But your stuff is always beautiful so go with your gut. Just my thoughts. Janet

    I'm jumping on the caboose, but haven't sorted through my stash yet. So glad this mystery is a table runner because I have so many other projects going on at the moment. I dropped off a cherry crunch/cobbler with whipped cream in the club car. Have at it!

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]580460[/ATTACH]Just Jan..I think you are right about both prints, so I'm going in a different direction. Thank you for your input!
    here is my second choice

    I think the coffee grinder print is probably still too large. Lay a ruler on it when you take a picture so we can see how big it actually is. Do you have a smaller print, maybe a floral or plaid, with blue and brown in it? Maybe the coffee grinder print could be the back?

    Aww, thanks, JustJan. I have a DGD whose favorite colors are pink and yellow. I was thinking of a twin size for her. She has a birthday in a few months.

    So glad you came through the storm okay. 😃

    Thanks. I have been debating about mine, too. Here is the first set I posted and now I have another set in mind. I'm thinking of making two runners. For the second set I'm thinking the blue across the bottom would perhaps make a good border. Have no idea about borders for the first set until I see what it looks like! In the second set A,B &D gave glitter. The tan is batik for the background and the aqua border would be batik also. Anyway, here are my pix...
